Poking his head into the room, Psyche peered in to see Izaya sitting quietly at his desk. His eyes were fixated on his computer but it was clear to Psyche that his mind was elsewhere. Bounding into the room, Psyche happily made his way over to his counterpart.

Approaching Izaya, he threw his arms around him, hopping into his lap, “Izaya-kun!”

The actions of the clone immediately broke the informant’s concentration as he now had a weight in his lap, clinging to him with affection.

Pulling back from his hug, Psyche smiled as he now made eye contact with Izaya, “What are you doing?”

“Shouldn’t you know that seeing as how you can hear my thoughts?” Izaya asked staring up at him with calm expression.

“I can but I thought I would be polite and ask anyway,” Psyche smirked cunningly in response. “Why are you thinking about Shizuo? I thought you hated him.”

“I do,” Izaya said. “That’s why I have been thinking of him. Fighting with him has become monotonous. All our fights are the same. I think it’s time I gave him a new reason to hate me.”

“Oh?” Psyche asked. “What are you going to do?”

“I wonder how Shizu-chan would fair against someone like you,” Izaya spoke, his tone more reflective than suggestive.

“Would Shizu-chan even know the difference between Psyche and Izaya?” Psyche asked.

Izaya smiled. His eyes shifted from Psyche to the wall. “I wonder.”
